Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless

I was a little surprised to find out that orcs hunt like they surround their prey, but when I thought about it, when the goblins ate me, they caught me in a back and forth pincer and caught me.

Since the goblins are so busy pinching me, it's no wonder that the orcs have surrounded me.

Surrounded by a pack of orcs, the five of them seemed to be ready to cut their bloodline.

Kobayashi-san and Yagi began to prepare to cast their magic at the orcs that stood in the path leading out of the forest.

''Let's do it, Gase Megane!

Ready when you are, Jai!

'Manna, manna, manna that governs the world, gather, gather, gather into my hands and be the wind, dance, dance, dance, wind, dance, wind blade!'

'Manna, manna, manna who governs the world, gather, gather, gather into my hands and be water, dance, dance, dance, water, dance, water, be water spear!

Kobayashi-san and Yagi activated the wind and water attribute attack magic.

The wind blade is invisible to the eye, but the water-attribute attack magic, which is a bit unreliable for a spear, was easily flung away by the orc swinging his club.

But the next moment, Kobayashi-san's wind-attribute magic attacked the orc.

''Buuuu...?

Fresh blood splattered from the orc's shoulder.

''Did you do it...?''

Hey, don't set a f*cking flag!

After a spastic cut like a kama-weasel, a look of rage appeared on the orc's face as blood began to flood in, as if the pain was coming from a zither.

''Bumoooo!''

'BMOO! BMOO!

As the magic-eaten orc roared, the other orcs began to roar as well, narrowing the circle of encirclement in one fell swoop.

The five of them stood and trembled at the power of it.

''No, it's not working at all!''

Hey, what are you going to do? What are you going to do?

'Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!

No....help me, someone help me!

Sakurai-san, who was in a state of panic, cried out.

I'm sure I was like this when I was being eaten by the goblins, too.

As if to protect the five people who were helplessly cowering, three vicious skeletons emerged from the shadows with a slippery look.

Oh, it looks like a hero, this!

"Whoa....what the hell is this...

Don't be silly, there's no such thing as a new demon...

With the five surprised people as an afterthought, the three skeletons intercepted a group of orcs.

Reinhardt stepped in furiously and swung his beloved sword Gram, and in a flash, the heads of the five orcs were blown off.

Basten's beloved spear Gaybolg, which hadn't moved a step while standing in Niou, flashed, and the five orcs crumbled down with a piercing blow between their eyes.

The jet-black body of Fred disappeared as if it were shaking, and then the heads of the four orcs tumbled off, and the headless bodies ran five or six steps before falling down.

''What is this.......we're saved.......?

Even though Mr. Kobayashi-san speaks out with his question, the other four people forget to answer and look around.

Then I'll answer them, myself.

''Hey guys, hold on, I'm here to help!

When I stepped out of Reinhardt's shadow and called out to him, the five of us turned our gazes in unison.

Wow, that's a bit scary, but something about it makes me feel a bit good.

''Wait, are you Kokubun?''

'I know you have a lot of questions, but for now, your priority is to get away from here.　First, I'm going to take off my servant's bracelet and you can change into the clothes I've prepared for you.

I thought you were dead.

The question is, if we don't move quickly, the smell of blood will attract the demons.

Wow, really...

Well, when the demons come together, Reinhardt and the others will only be able to return them.

The best way to hurry them up is to take advantage of the fear of the demons they've just tasted.

As I take off the bangles of servitude, they are all gutted and happy to see me.

They must have been abused by the bangles so much.

''You, how can you take off the bangles?''

'It's because I can use dark magic, come on, I'll hurry up and get dressed and move, focus on size, don't worry about color or pattern, be quick, the demons are coming.

The boys were asked to change on the spot, while the girls were asked to change in a simple changing room that Fred and Basten had made with the support of a cloth for a tent.

''These three are skeletons that I summoned and strengthened with dark attribute magic, and they usually work for me. I'll be escorting everyone from now on to the other side of the forest, to the citadel city of Volzard.

After they finished dressing, I introduced the five of them to Reinhardt, Basten, and Fred.

When they found out that they were allies and that they were knights who had been active in the past, the expressions of the five of them changed drastically.

''Awesome............................I could kill that orc in an instant.

I never saw you handle a spear.

'Not just the spear, Fred? I didn't even see what time they moved.

The new and old duo and Mr. Kobayashi seemed to be very interested in the three of them, but first let's start moving.

'We'll talk as we move, Sakurai-san, are you okay?'

Uh, yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.

The demon crisis has passed, and her complexion, which was very pale, has returned, and she seems to be getting back to her usual condition.

She's smaller than I am, so it's probably a charm that she's a bit lumpy without a change of clothes that fit her size.

'You don't have to be forced to walk in an armband, do you?

You have very little use for those fake glasses.

What a mini macho...

'Yes, yes, I'm moving on, I'm leaving you behind if you're struggling with something trivial.'

What, wait, that's not...

Kokubun, aren't you cold...

"Fred, please use everyone's clothes and bracelets to disguise yourself, and Basten has to get rid of the dead orcs.

I asked Fred and Basten to take care of the aftermath, and then began to move with Reinhardt's escort.

''Then I'll explain what we're going to do. The destination through the forest we're going to go to is a city called Volzard, a fortified city in the Landsholt Republic, which is different from the Kingdom of Riesenburg, and I've talked with them to make sure that everyone is accepted, so don't worry.

And then they'll make you a slave again, won't they?

''Yagi is probably right to be worried, but I've already talked with the lord, and Reinhardt and the others have become an invaluable fighting force in defending the city, so everyone shouldn't be treated as slaves. To begin with, slavery has been abolished in the Landsholt Republic.

After hearing the explanation, the five of us are relieved to hear the explanation.

I guess the treatment in the garrison is enduring, after all.

''When we get to Volzard, I'll have you make an identity card at the guild.

Oh, does that mean we're going to be adventurers?

'I thought the same thing as Nitta at first, but Volzard's guild is a place that deals with jobs in general, kind of like a Hello Work, if you will.

Does that mean there are some things that are just like a regular part-time job?

''Yeah, that's right, it's like everything from apprenticeship work to defeating demons, like Kobayashi-san has in mind.

Are we going to get a job slaying demons or something?

''Just a pity and probably impossible, no matter how strong your magic power is, you'll start with an E rank, usually an F rank, so you'll have to move up in rank to be able to accept the kind of work Furuta wants you to do.

Whoa ... it's finally starting to feel like a different world!

Don't you have a pretty girl in the guild?

Do you have any specialties from this world?

Oh, man, I'm really, really looking forward to this.

Seeing Yagi pumping his fist in the air and rejoicing, everyone expressed their agreement with each other.

If we can get out of that treatment in the garrison, it's no wonder they're so excited.

But we'll have to nail it down before we get into trouble.

'It's OK for everyone to be happy, but just listen to me for a moment.　We've already talked to Volzard about getting him to accept us, but after this, we still have to rescue about two hundred of our classmates and get them to accept us as well.　If everyone gets into big trouble in Volzade, it could ruin the acceptance process.　Then we won't have any place to go.

I mean, don't you think we're supposed to be treating them well since they called us here on their own?

I'm glad I nailed it after all, I knew my brain muscles wouldn't listen to me.

'Furuta's an idiot! You didn't listen to Kokubun, did you?

'What's wrong with me, Jai, what's wrong with me?

You said the city you're going to is not the same one as this one.

'Oh... well...'

The Bumpy Sisters and Gase Megane seem to understand, so I'm going to focus on the new and old duo and nail them down.

''This time, I took everyone out for dead, but after we get everyone out, we have to negotiate to get back to Japan, and until we get the negotiations sorted out, we have to let them live in Volzard, or else they'll be left to die in the Demon Forest if we're not good enough.

''Ugh ... don't do that for real ...''

Don't try anything, Tatsuya.

I know, I know, just keep it together, okay? d*mn, this is not fun for a different world...

I see, the brainiacs need a place to relieve stress, right?

''Oh, if you want to do something like defeating demons or something like that, why don't you take a training course on combat techniques at the guild?''

A combat skills course? Seriously........you're not going to use a wooden sword to hit each other, are you?

'Yes, but not in a Rustock kind of way, but in a proper match format.

'Really? So I guess I'll take it then....

'If you complete all the lessons from the fire days to the star days, you'll get permission to dive the dungeon by yourself.

When I blurted out a single word, everyone snapped at me.

"Seriously? Is there a dungeon?

I want to go to the dungeon....

Do dungeons hold any treasures?

Have you ever dived before, Kokubun?

What kind of demons are out there?

'Stop, stop, wait a minute, I can't answer that question all at once.

For now, I'll shut everyone up once and nail them again.

''If everyone gets into trouble, you won't be able to explore the dungeon.　Besides, the dungeon is just as dangerous as the Devil's Forest, and you can't enter it alone without completing the course, and I heard that the person who lived in my lodgings before didn't come back from hiding in the dungeon.

As expected, hearing that it is as dangerous as the Devil's Forest, the buoyant mood seems to have calmed down.

But hey........we've been walking quite a bit since the place we were at earlier, and no demons are coming out.

Oh well come to think of it, you'll notice the good things about your gushy glasses habit.

'f*ck, unlike your brainiacs, I'm a keen observer.

The fact that no demons have appeared since the orcs attacked us seems to have loosened the five of us up.

''Let me tell you, the reason the demons haven't appeared is because Reinhardt hasn't hidden his presence around, so the weaker demons just don't run away and attack us.　Normally, this area is a place where goblins and kobolds and other things are hanging around.

Seriously...?

''Have you already forgotten that Yagi was attacked by Orcs as soon as you entered the forest?

No, no, I haven't forgotten about you, but...

'Well, how about the five of us walk to Volzard from here, just the five of us? If we hurry, we could be there in two days.

Two days is a long way away... I mean, where are you going to sleep, and where are you going to eat?

Oh, those annoying glasses are so annoying.

We've prepared a tent and food for you, but you can go on your own if you want.

No way. I mean, even Kokubun couldn't cross the street by himself, right?

Well, I can move around in the shadows. I can get to Volzard any day now.

It's just too d*mn slick, so why don't we just move out of here? Yeah, I'm smart!

'You can't enter the shadow world without an aptitude for the dark attribute, if you want, I'll open the entrance for you to try it out.

I tried to open the gate to the shadow world by bringing out the shield of darkness, but not only Yagi, but also the other four were not able to enter.

''d*mn, that's useless, the dark attribute........''

''Yeah, I knew we'd leave the Yagi behind...''

'No, no, wait, wait, that's not what I meant...'

'Yes, I've got some slave braces that I took from the Rustock garrison, do you want me to fit them and send them back?

Lie, lie, lie, joke, joke, joke...

''We can't get the tent or food out without using dark-attribute magic, so we're going to be without Yagi's portion...''

I'm sorry, sir, I'm really, really sorry. I was just getting carried away.

Yeah, yeah, I think we should know, if we know, if we know...

I got down on my knees without shame or offense, so I guess I'll forgive you.

When I was nodding my head with my arms folded in front of the Kneeling Gaseous Glasses, Mr. Kobayashi pointed it out to me.

He said, "You look.....Kokubun has changed.

'What? Is that right?

Yeah, I don't know, I was a lot more jaded and frail before, but I don't feel like that anymore.

''Oh... maybe it's because I'm doing physical labor on the farm and training with Reinhardt and the others... and maybe it's because I have more contact with adults...''

Sounds like you're having a hard time, Kokubun-kun.

Oh, mini macho, you know pretty well, if you want, I'll introduce you guys to Mr. Donovan.

I mean, let's have the new and old duo of brainiacs treated to the best of their ability so that they don't cause unnecessary trouble.

Fred and Basten, who have finished their cover-up, have joined us, and our security detail is now in place.

Perhaps due to the fact that they have been freed from the servant's bracelet, the five of them feel like a complete picnic, and this time we can keep an eye on them because there are only five of them, but if there are fifty or a hundred of them, it looks like the guards are going to be hard to protect them.

The way the five of them fought the Orcs, they can currently only fight goblins, but if they are more than that, they are unlikely to be of much use.

The five of them, compared to everyone else, how do they compare in terms of strength?

Me and Tatsuya are the strongest knight-types in the world.

I think Acchan and I are also at the top level of jury members... although Takayama is on a different level.

Well I was right.........

What's the matter with you, Kokubun?

'Yeah, actually...'

We answered Yagi's questions and talked about the upcoming rescue plan.

I told him that in order to escape to Volzard, we would have to traverse the Demon Forest like we did today, and if we were pursued from Riesenburg, Fred and Basten would be in charge of dealing with that, and there was a possibility that the guards would be less able to protect us, so I was thinking of having my classmates develop a certain level of ability in Riesenburg.

''I get what you're thinking, Kokubun, but do you think you'll be able to beat that orc?''

At Yagi's words, the other four immediately shook their heads.

As for Sakurai-san, her face has paled again.

With that fighting style, you'd think it's a bit impossible.

''Kent-sama, nothing is always one-on-one in a fight,''

''Yes, Master Kent, there were more orcs this time, but what if it's the other way around?''

"The key is coordination and tactics...

'Oh, right! Yeah, you're right.

Oh, come on, Kokubun, what's the matter with you?

'Oh, oh, sorry, I was just getting some telepathic advice from Reinhardt and the others.

Telepathic communication, lies, how can you do that? d*mn....I love the dark attribute....

Yes, I know, I've already started using it as a matter of course, but if I were in Yagi's position, I'd still be jealous.

''So, Reinhardt and the others say that we should think of it as a many-to-one, not a one-on-one.

'I see, just like when Kazuki and I defeated the goblins.

Yeah, well, what if there are five or ten of us hanging on to it, instead of just two?

You could take it down, couldn't you? We sorcerers will attack first with our magic.

"We knightly types are going to put a stop to this, aren't we? It'll be fine.

This time there are only five of us, so the fact that it's easy to guard them, also means that they're small in terms of strength.

If there are fifty or even a hundred of them, their strength will increase ten or even twenty times, so even if we were attacked by a group of orcs on the same scale as today, if Reinhardt and his team were to cut down some of them, I think they would be able to defend themselves by making their numbers count.

''I see, it's what they call party play in the game... but we didn't do that kind of training, did we?

''Well the only training for a knight type was to just use the wooden sword to defeat the opponent.

The sorcerer just kept firing his magic at the target.

Furuta and Kobayashi-san's story is exactly what we heard when we did the reconnaissance.

Are they going to do proper coordination training in the future?

What do you think? Maybe they won't do it and they'll be disposable.

I mean, aren't we in that disposable situation now?

The other four nodded at Yagi and Sakurai-san's words, but I feel like that would prevent them from proceeding with the important task of cultivating the demon forest.

I asked the five of them if they were told who they were going to fight and what their purpose was, but they only told me that they were going to fight demons.

I told him that Carla's purpose was to cultivate the demon forest to prevent the desertification of the western part of Riesenburg.

"You're going to explore all these things? Something awesome.....

We didn't have time to think about that...

'What are you talking about, you two brainiacs wouldn't think about it even if you could afford it.

d*mn, you didn't think you'd get a bump in the road.

Well I don't think I can afford to look for reasons in that environment either, so what do you think?

When I told them that there are malnourished children due to the decline in crop yields caused by desertification, all five of them began to have complicated expressions on their faces.

I understand the purpose, but I don't like the way it's done.

'Yes, I'd consider it if you treated me better, but I can't imagine I'd want to cooperate with you if you treated me like that.

All the girls are crying every night.

''You know... the only ones willing to do this are Takayama and a few others, right?

'Was it Shelia? d*mn, you must be really jealous of that.

At Yagi's words, the new and old duo fiercely agreed, and the uneven duo frowned a bit.

''That Shelia.........''

When I told the story of Camilla's half-mother's sister, who is Camilla's half-sister of a different mother, who is also forced to deal with Takayama in the form of her low status mother being held hostage, this time all five of them scowled and started cursing Camilla.

''That's really the worst, that d*mn princess.''

You're so annoying, Kokubun. You should kill that guy.

Well, they can't keep you alive, can they?

I really don't think I'm going to forgive that woman.

But you'll have to humiliate him before you kill him.

Wow, there it is, those porno glasses, the real deal...

Wait, don't you think so too, Furuta?

No, no I don't think...

You guys are really lowlifes...

I'm starting to digress, so let's stop for a moment.

'Yes, yes, wait a minute guys, are we forgetting something vital?'

What's the point of it all?

Yagi, you don't want to go back to Japan?

Ugh... yeah, well, that b*tc* has a way of getting home.

Yagi's words seemed to remind the other four of something they had forgotten as well.

'Camilla's pissed off, there's no doubt about that, but she's got a hold of the repatriation magic to get back to Japan.　Of course, I'm going to work with Fred and the others to find out, but at the same time, I think I need to negotiate with Camilla to get back to Japan.

But, come on, you think a woman who would let her sister do that to her, even if it was a half-sister, would be willing to negotiate?

'Yeah, you're right, I don't think we're going to be able to negotiate with them now.

Why don't we just have that powerful skeleton kill all the soldiers in the garrison?

Totally, these gushy glasses are too simple to think about.

If I could solve the problem to that extent, I would have done it a long time ago.

"Yagi-yi.......and what if they refuse to send you back to Japan? How are we going to get back to Japan?

Ugh ... that's a threat to that princess...

'Do I look like I'm giving in to threats? That evil princess.

That's ... invisible ...

The gaseous glasses should be small in the cold gaze that falls on them.

'I think we need to be the kind of opponent that Camilla will take a look at.　To do that, I think we definitely need Volzard's backing, and I think it's essential that we all grow up.

Does that mean we're going to war with the Risenburgs?

Everyone's expressions hardened when they heard Kobayashi-san's question.

'No, we don't want humans to kill each other, so that's our last option. If we can convince people that it would be better to bring us back to Japan than to leave us here, I think our chances of getting home will increase.

Well I don't know, but does that mean I should be strong?

'Yes, and don't forget to get along with the Volzard people.

'Ugh, we get along and we get stronger, which means it's friendship power.

''Yeah ... well, Furuta and Nitta are fine like that ...''

Although they were a little anxious, the group went on the road of the Devil's Forest at a fast pace.

As expected of the new and old duo, and the Convex Sisters, they have something to do with their athleticism.

At this pace, we might be able to reach Volzard tomorrow night.
